"abhorrent that you're taxed twice on the same money." I have a genuine question about this, as I've this sentiment lots. Doesn't this happen all the time? Any time I pay VAT I'm being taxed again on money I've probably paid tax on. And even then, inheritance tax is paid by the inheritor who quite literally be receiving something for nothing. It's new money / assets to them so they would only be taxed once on it. |  |

Genuine question regarding the abolishing buy to rent. When roughly 35% of the uk population rents, who is going to own the houses to rent out to people? I speak as someone who has rental properties in my business, we charge well below market price. For me someone has to buy the house, for me the issue is the cost of the house, if your mortgage on a rental house is £1500 a month, the rent will likely be £1500 a month. Unless you’re rich enough to subsidies the rent or have no mortgage very few will not want to cover their bills |  | |  |

It just highlights what a ridiculous society we live in when you consider all of the taxes and yet the country seems broken. I am not sure why the government feel it is acceptable to demand a portion of your wealth on your death. With that said, I think £500k should be the limit and then it should start off as a smaller percentage than it currently is. Again though, if it comes down to something like scrapping the two child cap against scrapping inheritance tax then paying a bit more tax is a small price to pay to take hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty. |  | |  |

To me it seems fair. It's already got a fairly high bar when passing to children so most of the country don't even pay it. Like if I pass it down, I'll be dead, I'm not sure I'll care all that much. For people who do pay it, it's from a potentially massive windfall for when you've done nothing to earn it. |  |

Boo-hoo, poor landlords, scraping by- must be tough! No one needs more than two homes and nobody should be profiteering off of someone else's need to have a home. If I was PM, all third properties would be compulsory purchased and returned to council house stock, as I said in my post. "rental properties in my business" lol [Post edited 20 Jul 16:31]
